This is a port of Xash3D to the Nintendo Switch.
Xash3D Engine is a custom Gold Source engine rewritten from scratch. Xash3D is compatible with many of the Gold Source games and mods and should be able to run almost any existing singleplayer Half-Life mod without a hitch.
To put it simply, this allows you to play Half-Life on your Nintendo Switch. The Opposing Force and Blue Shift expansions are also supported.
Note: Does not work on latest Firmwares.
Installation
How to install
- Drop the nro downloaded from releases file in your
switchfolder. - Get a copy of half life that contains the

- For Opposing Force and Blue Shift, also copy the
- Download the extras.pak files and put it in the
valvefolder for all the menu assets. - Make sure the
valvefolder you copy across is a clean folder as existing config files may cause graphical issues.

Changelog
V1.0.1 2019/09/15
- Update libnx so hid will work on 9.0.0+.
V1.0.0 2019/01/30
- nwindow is used now instead of the deprecated gfx api.
- The touchscreen should work now.
- Moved over to filesystem times for savefiles thanks to libnx.
- Implemented the console and various UI requiring text input using swkbd.
- Added options for overclocking, for the really care cases where you might benefit from it.
- Made cl_showfps default to 0 (you can always change it using the console).
- A dmc sdk branch has been ported and is available, additionally a decay port has been added that needs more testing.
- Hotfix: the hecu torch grunt should be spawning now.
V0.4.0 2018/11/23
- All the nro's have been renamed to ease the process of adding new games and making it easier to port new dlls, please delete all the
half-life-*.nro's. - The game switching implementation should be a lot more flexible now and you should be able to keep the nro's where you want as long as you keep them together.
- Mods should now work as expected as long as they do not contain custom entities / weapons or other specialized code put in a dll file.
- Opposing force should be fixed.
- Various fixes and improvements to stability.
- Note: There are still performance issues, so do not expect a stable fps at 60.
V0.3.0 2018/11/19
- Blue Shift / Opposing Force builds has been ported and added to the build system.
- The Custom Game menu should not crash anymore, but it will only work if all the nro's are in the /switch directory and are not renamed.
V0.2.1 2018/11/17
- There should be no more crashes after quitting from the menu back to the hbmenu.
V0.2.0 2018/11/17
- The timestamp of saves are now saved into a own file as a temporarily workaround until libnx gains timestamps. (Now you will go back to the last autosave when you die instead of having to start over).
- Increased the buffer for file copies, this makes saving in some cases multiple times faster.
- Fixed the screenshots for saves being broken due to the dynamic resolution system.
- More work trying to fix crashes (hbmenu will still crash when you quit from the mainui, this is being worked on).
- Added a working icon.
